• Dr. A.S. Frater, who followed Hoodless as Principal of CMS (appointed December 31, 1946), was also a Presbyterian minister and the son of a Presbyterian missionary (Maurice Frater). Died young. He had been in a prison camp during the war. Just dropped dead. The position was vacant in the list for 1954. I heard a rumor--maybe from Waibuca--that an acting Director threw away a large number of records in the 1950s. It is likely that it was the person who took over after Frater's death.
• Taraiasi Vakamoci, curator of the Pathology Museum, took us to anatomy lab where the bones are that Kar Burns already saw and measured in 1999. Taraiasi has been employed at the school since 1978. He will try to contact Staya Deo Singh, who was in charge of the anatomy lab from before Taraiasi started work at FSM and who probably met the team in 1999.
• Associated with Colonial War Memorial Hospital.
• Gilchrist principal from 1964-1970.
• Dr. Harry Lander before Samisoni?
• Dr. Jim Samisoni--successor to Gilchrist and prior to Baravilala. One of Gilchrist's boys. Tried but failed to make contact with him.
• Dr. Wame Baravilala, Dean of FSM in 2003. Not interested in the bones search.
• The Librarian, Imeri Waibuca started to work at FSM in her present capacity in 1998. She has begun looking for records to build an archive for the school. She would not let us see any of her finding aids or anything in the archives. She says she asked one of her students to do a search on our behalf. We have no idea what kind of materials they have.
